The Journal of Food Science and Technology (JFST) is the official publication of the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists of India (AFSTI). The Journal is envisaged as the major platform for communicating advances/developments in the post-harvest science, engineering and technology aspects of food/food products to researchers, academicians, industry as well as students of food science and technology. This peer reviewed Journal publishes novel and high quality reviews, original research and short communications covering the wide range of post-harvest related science, engineering and technological aspects of foods, food products and related byproducts with special emphasis on the basic and applied research findings that will impact the quality, safety and/or shelf life of fresh or processed food products including findings that will help improvise the efficiency of a process/technology, effective utilization of by-products or wastes resulting from food processing operations. Manuscripts dealing with pre-harvest aspects will only be considered if the work clearly indicates the relevance to post-harvest practices/processing that will directly impact the safety, quality or shelf life of the food or food products. Critical reviews on new perspectives in food handling and processing, innovative and emerging technologies and trends and future research in food products and food industry byproducts are also welcome. The Journal also publishes book reviews relevant to science, technology and engineering aspects of food or food products. The major areas of food/food products covered by the Journal are -
· Chemistry, microbiology and biotechnology aspects of food
· Emerging safety and toxicological issues
· Food and material engineering
· Physical / chemical / sensory properties of food
· Advances in sensory science
· Food quality and safety
· Nutraceuticals, functional foods and functional ingredients
· Biophysical analysis of food or processing operations
· Applied research related to food nanotechnology
· Emerging technologies
· Environmental, safety and sustainability aspects of processing
· Waste / by-product management in food processingThe following will not be considered for publication in JFST and will be rejected as being outside the scope -
· Studies with no food component
· Any study indicating only a marginal improvement in existing knowledge due to obviousness of material added or slight modification in the existing formulations and ingredients.
· Any stu
